In the series of collage-like performances, Ballet Blue(s) is the follower of Ballet Blanc. Ballet Blue(s) is extremely suitable for a wide audience with (relatively) short, relatively and freestanding choreographies. Just like everyone is used to from De Dutch Don’t Dance Division. The first part of the performance is a new version of Tom Stuart’s choreography ‘Blauw Bloed’.

… “Blauw Bloed is a feast for eyes and ears. Surprises, humour and a touch of magic will not let you go for forty-five minutes”…. Wrote the Rotterdams Dagblad when Blauw Bloed premiered in 2002.

In Blauw Bloed the dancers represent the nobility, to the music of Landgrave Unico Wilhelm van Wassenaer. The vocabulary changes from Baroque dance to modern dance when the Baroque costumes are being peeled off. After the break we will see dance in her diversity of styles: intense solos about loneliness and love, short humoristic modern dance and spectacular, dynamic group performances executed by the dancers of De Dutch Don’t Dance Division.

Besides the choreographies from artistic leaders Stuart and Sprong, there will also be performances of dance pieces by well-known names like Ton Simons and Ed Wubbe. This diversity can also be found in the music that is being used: from Tchaikovsky to Michael Jackson, Cuby and the Blizzards, van Morrison and many others.
